Above, a segment I shot backstage at Tara Subkoff for Imitation of Christ: This Is Not A Fashion Show, focusing on hairstyles created by lead stylist David Cruz using Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium tools.
Why “This Is Not A Fashion Show”? Tara’s goal was to take the focus off of the clothes, and to visually explore the evolution of a woman’s relationship with beauty over the course of her life. During the installation, the models (who ranged in age from about 7 to about 80) stood in front of gold mirrors wearing nude bodysuits, and tried on clothing heaped on the floor in front of them, playing with the pieces while a girls’ choir sung Christmas carols (with custom lyrics) in the background.
